DENVER, March 15.-Nathan Falk,
a travelling salesman, was this morn
ing arraigned before Justice Sales,
charged with the larceny of 5000
cigars, and was held in a bond of
$1,000 to appear before the Grand
Jury. After the decision was pro-
nounced, the prisoner, in company
with Constable Levy, started for the
Chamber of Commerce Library, for
the purpose of procuring security.
The pair assembled the stairway to the
third story, when Falk turned around
suddedly and said good by to Levy,
and threw himself yer the baluster,
and fell to the basement floor, 20 feet
below. In his terrible fight he struck
the balustrade's lower landings, from
which he was thrown head first upon
the stair post in the basement. His
scalp was completely torn from the
left side OF the head and the skull
fractured, from which a portion OF the

destructive Fire Ina Buffalo.
BUFFALO, March 15.-This morning
the large brick building of Miller,
Greiner & Co., opposite the CONNER
cial Advertiser Office was burned.
Within half an hour after the fire
started the walls began to fall. The
building, with it's contents, was a total
loss. The loss Of the building is
5000, 900; on the stock $3.50 900. The
insurance is heavy. The two upper
floors of the building were occupied
as a Masonic Hall, which is also a total
loss. The insurance at present is I'M
known. 1t is reported that two or
three fremen are buried under the
ruins.
LATER-The loss by the destruction
of the Masonic Hall is about $35 1000:
insurance, $25, 900. All the Masonic
lodges and other bodies met at this
hall except two, and its destruction is
keenly felt among the members of the
Order. The Hall was burned out at
the time of the Commercial fire of De-
cember, '82, and most of the appoint
ments were entirely new. The dam
age to the Commercial building is not
serious. The reported injury to the
firemen is unfounded.

come n Tramp.
New York, March Is. - Albert
PARA, a 16-year-old messenger boy,
employed by the Wall street firm of
O'Brigg & Winter, was seized with a
desire to become a tramp a few days
ago. Accordingly, when he was sent
to the bank on Monday with $26 $3.50,
in checks and some cash to deposit,
he did not go to the bank, but started
out on his travels. He got as far as
Williamsburg, where he met some
tramps of the real kind. They soon
spent all the cash PARA had, and then
discovered they could not get cash on
the checks. The boy accordingly tore
them into small pieces and threw
them away. He and his companions
have been arrested, and the Wall
street firm is trying to get duplicates
of the checks.
